Today, so much is suddenly official. Pineapple Express is officially not quite as awesome as Knocked Up, but it is also officially a great movie and arguably the funniest of the year thus far. The Olympics have already begun. And best of all, we can officially look forward to not having to hear about the Brett Favre saga ever again.
Of course we will now have to hear a different Brett Favre story every day until the NFL season starts, but at least this one will seem more meaningful and infinitely less annoying.
After what seems like eons of speculation, Brett Favre — depending on who you ask, either the best quarterback of all-time, one of the 5 best or no worse than top 20 — is finally doing something other than nothing. Favre is officially a New York Jet.
Personally I love the move for many reasons. The first and most obvious reason is that he will not be playing for the Green Bay Packers. While the stand up fans of Green Bay have proven that they deserve to have BF as their BFF, pretty much everyone else involved with the team other than Aaron Rodgers has come off looking sillier than Manny Parra giving Prince Fielder the stink eye.
Let's break it down, shall we?
Favre comes out the ultimate winner because he gets a fresh start, he's still a Hall of Famer, even a bad year or two wouldn't tarnish his legacy (especially when you consider that the Green Bay legacy is even more untouchable now) and the fans of Green Bay still love him unconditionally. What more could the guy want? And now he's going to be the king of New York. Some guys have all the luck. Even Rod Stewart is jealous.
Aaron Rodgers comes out looking like a saint for basically keeping his mouth shut, staying humble and keeping a sheepish grin on his face during the entire fiasco. And hugging Justin Timberlake was probably a decent career move, too.
